She spent her entire life watching the Windsor-Detroit border change. When she was just seven years old, she watched the crowds gather on the Ambassador Bridge after it opened in 1929. Things changed a century later as 102-year-old Rita Georgeff walked across another landmark, connecting her hometown of Windsor, Ontario with Detroit, Michigan. Initially, Rita Georgeff had planned to walk across the Gordie Howe International Bridge for her 100th birthday. But due to construction delays, she had to wait another two years. On September 1, a few days after her 102nd birthday on August 28, Georgeff finally made the walk she had been waiting for. The Gordie Howe International Bridge opened to traffic on July 27 while its multi-use path for pedestrians and cyclists opened on August 5.
